The real problem is America lacks self discipline. And because American society sets the bar so low its easy to look like a hero just because you have a bachelors degree in liberal arts.

This is a problem that has come about in the last 15 years or so. America was not always this way. Plus America used to have plenty of self discipline.
Truth be told Sooshi did nail it with the fact that the grading system curve has been lowered for the sake of less educated people. The LA school system is notorious for this kind of bullshit. Hell they pass kids that can't read. How the fuck does that happen? When I was a kid it could not happen, now it does. Shit 20 years ago LA had a excellent school system.
Its true Americans have gotten lazy. Another major problem is current college bound kids are more interested in making money than actually doing things that would make the country better. I.E. going into Sciences and whatnot.
Its true this is where China and India excel where we used to excel. Like I said earlier we still lead the World in Technology but the pool of Americans doing that work is shrinking because everyone is becoming greedy and more interested in making money period.
Though to sum it all up once again, A country this size accepting people and cultures from all over the world is not going to have all intelligent or all non intelligent people. Its going to have a mix that will skew the results.
